Our Drift Hero 2500W has been a complete disappointment. From the start, the chain constantly derails, even after replacing it multiple times with the manufacturer’s supplied parts and keeping the bike strictly on paved roads. The alignment is off, and there’s barely any room left in the bracket to adjust the motor.
Despite reaching out several times — including sending photos and detailed explanations — we’ve received no response or help from customer service. For a bike at this price point, the lack of reliability and support is unacceptable.
We wanted to believe in this product, but it’s been nothing but frustration and wasted money.
Our Drift Hero 5000W has been nothing but problems since we bought it. The wheel bearing gave out early on, which caused severe damage to the hub, sleeve, and spacer assembly. The fork guard also cracked at the bolt seam, and we’ve had no luck finding replacement parts anywhere.
I’ve emailed customer service multiple times, even sent detailed photos after a virtual meeting, and still haven’t received any response or follow-up. For the cost of this unit, the quality and support are completely unacceptable. We wanted to stand behind this brand and promote these bikes, but the 5000W has left us completely disappointed.
Save yourself the headache — look elsewhere.
I bought this for my grandkids. So far it has been a hit. I like the size of the Kart. An average size adult can ride in it. My wife and daughter in law both tried this with a grandchild driving. There were lots of giggles. The width of the kart also provides stability in turns. Battery life is pretty good. On our first outing the kids ran it for nearly four hours. We just need to see how it holds up over time.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo fun.
Drift Hero does offer quick and easy to order repair parts. However the tie rod ball joint ends have a hole drilled through them for a cotter pin that can't be used because the shaft is too short for the nut! Because of this hole it weakens the shaft thus it will break occasionally.
